These facilities hold those military who serve arrest punishments or remain in pre-trial custody, detained active servicemen or reservists called for field duty, convicted military in transit to the disciplinary battalion and servicemen apprehended for violation of military discipline in a state of intoxication (or those without ID) until sobering or identification; – 18 rooms for temporarily detained military at the premises of Military Police units that have no guardhouses; – secure wards at the medical institutions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for treatment of ill convicted, arrested and detained persons in military service, in Kyiv, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolayiv, Zaporizhzhya, Lviv, Khmelnytsky, Rivne, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Poltava, Zhytomyr, Simferopol and Sevastopol. In view of the fact that no person conscripted for active military service can at any time and at own discretion leave the territory of the unit the existing military units may also be deemed as custodial settings under the Ministry of Defense. As of January 1, 2013 the Armed Forces of Ukraine had 337 mili- tary units: 197 units in the Land Forces, 81 units in the Navy and 59 units in the Air Force. Analysis of statistical data on the number of servicemen serving punishments in guardhouses and the disciplinary battalion showed an apparent tendency for reduction (see Drawing 2.5)
